I'm going to look at them tomorrow. One complete globe and one set of lens. I have not seen them yet. Which are most desirable?

The one with the railroad tankcar on it is the most valuable.

Matt, Its my favorite too! I've got a friend with a pump that still has the original Purple Martin paint and signs.

Dave, I emailed you pictures of several Martin globes and an estimate of their value.
Good luck and let us know how you did.
Bob
